Table cell alignment classes are incompatible with bootstrap 5

[jhcole]

The "left" and "right" cell alignment options are handled by assigning text-left or text-right classes to the cell. I think this approach was relying on the styling of these classes in bootstrap, but bootstrap 5 removed these classes and replaced them with text-start and text-end. I'm guessing this was done to support right-to-left languages. The problem is currently visible in the MyST parser documentation.

.

For a Jupyter book, I've worked around the issue by adding

sphinx:
  config:
    html_static_path: ["_static"]
    html_css_files: ["custom.css"]

to _config.yml, and then adding

.text-left{
  text-align: left !important;
}
.text-right{
  text-align: right !important;
}

to _static/custom.css.

Heya, myst-parser does not provide any CSS stylings, this is up to the html theme used.

This is in an issue that needs to be raised with sphinx-book-theme.

This is discussed in the "Aligning cells in Sphinx HTML themes" drop-down and, for example, is specifically accounted for in https://github.com/pradyunsg/furo/blob/80afa27a9a7bd0ac9259636239e349656c4726ab/src/furo/assets/styles/content/_tables.sass#L36

Thanks for letting me know. I'll reraise the issue or submit a pull request there.

The MyST Parser is applying the class names text-left and text-right, and I'm wondering if those names are still the best choice. Bootstrap 3 and 4 included them, but 5 does not.

Same trouble with PyData Shinx Theme.
